The project entails repair and minor alteration of an existing utility access road that has been eroded. Currently, storm water runoff has cause erosion for the maintenance road and trucks cannot drive through the section of road in question. Therefore, the proposed access road repair work is crucial to allow access for emergency response and regular maintenance activities. The proposed work area is small, and all proposed work will occur within the footprint of an existing access road. Storm water runoff will flow underneath the access road through a new culvert pipe rather than over the existing road and will prevent the ongoing erosion problem of the road.
